One of us went to every game, home or away. As often as possible, we both went. It was important to us as a way to support the kids.

One of us always goes. sometimes we both go but with more than one kid and work schedules that’s not always possible. We both enjoy the games now that they are teens.

Avoidance is a terrible way to deal with anxiety disorder and actually contributes to it.

If you had a valid reason to not go fine but I’m too anxious… nope.

To be clear I ALWAYS go. I hate every minute of it.

I usually go to the games but if I don’t, my husband will or sometimes my sister.

My son pitches. I get nervous. My husband, however, does not as he says he’s not the one out there pitching so why should he get nervous

I try to go to all games because I love watching DC play, and because for many games, I have friends on the sidelines to chat with.

DH isn't into sports and spends the games on his phone so he rarely comes.

Between three kids in sports, I can’t always go to all the sporting events, but either my husband or I are at almost every event.

1-2 games per season per kid max. Game time is when I get to run all my errands/get things done around the house.

I usually go to 2-3 games per season. My parents didn't come to any of my games so I consider this a step up.

Rarely. I find most of the other parents and the environment in general really annoying- so much poor behavior by parents and sometimes coaches.

DH loves to attend so he usually goes. I attend when he cannot.

My DS does not care either way.

It was a huge thing for me as a kid that one of my parents was at almost all of my games. I wasn't good, but they showed up.

So I try to do the same for my kids.

Spouse and I generally alternate. I don't really care about W/L.

I go to every game because I enjoy watching my children play. I know my kids can handle losing so that's not an issue for me.

I hate going to games...Am I the only one? It is a cause of huge anxiety for me. I worry about how ds will do, if the team loses...
